During that month, sorties by U.S. helicopters and bombers tripled in number.

That's still not enough range to fly sorties out of Poland into combat in Eastern Ukraine, and then return to Poland.

From five to nine sorties every day.

Some sorties would take the crews 700 miles from land, with each flight beginning with a fly-past of the 148-foot high Skerryvore Lighthouse to calibrate the aircraft’s altimeter, before heading off on what could be ten to 12 hours of data gathering.
